Thanks! Wow that does look really good... It's for my wedding actually and we may have 200 people, so I probably need a more full-service party caterer ... but I'm gonna check out that place anyway just for my own chow pleasure...

I'm trying to plan a pig roast in New Jersey, and found the website for Pappy's in Cape May County. Has anyone used them, is the food good? I was going to call and try to see if I could go down for a tasting, but wasn't sure how they're be able to offer just a tasting of their roast pig... Was also interested in the clam bake option, if anyone has experience with that...

Wasn't sure if this or NE was the best place to ask, but someone told me about a great cheese shop that also served amazing grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch in Great Barrington, MA. I seem to recall the name Ruby's, but couldn't find anything when I googled it. Thanks!

I second National Mechanics! My friend is friends with the owner and they threw an awesome birthday party - complete with strolling Dixieland jazz duo and Irish tenor crooning Heavy Metal covers (2 separate acts, not together!).

And I've always thought that North Bowl would be fun for a wedding or wedding-like event.

With Rutt's Hut as a reference (a place that has spoiled me for ever eating a hot dog anywhere else http://thisisgonnabegood.blogspot.com...), I think the kind of place you're looking for is Chuck's Spring Street Cafe -- hot wings, burgers, deep-fried mini tacos, cheese fries. It's right around the corner from the Princeton Public Library, next to the parking garage.

It was an interesting theory, but you're right she didn't really offer up what's next for our society now that we've reached the point of conspicuous consumption and disguising of our food. Ideally the local farmers would rise up and overthrow P.F. Chang's right? Unfortunately, though, I think it's probably going to take something of catastrophic epidemic proportions to get this country to go back to eating locally grown sustainable food.

She did have a couple interesting answers to audience questions. She had talked about sumptuary laws imposed by the upper class to keep the middle classes in their place and one guy asked if she though the legislation banning foie gras in some cities was that (doesn't really make sense given that foie gras is an upper class food...), but she said no, she thinks it was a way for the vegetarian/animal rights movement to start with something they could win, set a precedent, and move on from there.
